Breeze of Bisaan - Simon Shaheen

.. أُريد أنّ أكتب لكِ شيئًا يُشبّه فتاة صغيرة ،
سريعًا مثلها مثلها عندما تركضُ وسطّ الانفجارات ،
ومكسورًا مثلها عندما تسقطُّ ،
وقويًا مثلها عندما تنهض ،
شىٌ يغطيه الغبـّار ، لكنّه جميل جدًا 
جميل للحدّ الذى يجعلكِ لا تخافينْ خيطُّ الدمِ النازل من أنفِ معناه ..

Toccata for Viola & Piano

Ikuko Kawai - El Choclo (Kiss Of Fire)

This is for you Syria, for your struggle, melancholy, wounds and your wild bloody roses
for your freedom, for your tired restless eyes and heavy grey skies
this is for your silent  stones and your curved fragile houses,

this is the story of you Syria ,a story of me,
a story of both of us ..a story of death and birth and every gleams in between 
 
music and songs only !
but more than that, a skin I want you to wear,
a drug I want to you to swallow 
sins in heavens  in air 
a wind to carry and follow  
a hope to keep in despair 
a faith to hold in tomorrow 
and a sea I want you to measure 
for a smile in front of death
and a laughter in the face of fear 
for a hope in the face of misery,
a melody in the face of darkness 
to rise against death, to hold a fire in a hand 
in lands of ache and sorrow 
this is for you Syria
its my heart in sounds 
its my blood in waves 
from yesterday's agony
from yesterday's pain 
from yesterday's hell
it's music for tomorrow .

Abu Ali - Canada 81 ( Ziad Rahbani )

حتى لا أموت موتاً بعد موتي; اذكروني بكل ابتسامة شاغف دفئها قلوبكم من كل نغمة موسيقية صدرت من هذا المكان.

“ستقتلون كاتباً..
لكنكم لن تقتلوا الكتابه..
وتذبحون, ربما, مغنياً
لكنكم لن تذبحوا الربابه...”
